Uppsala, Sweden, November 27, 2012 – Hansoft, with its eponymous tool already popular for boosting productivity among software developers, telcos and game developers, is adding social collaboration to its feature set spanning over agile ALM and PPM.

“Hansoft 7 is our largest release ever and takes speed and user-friendliness to even higher levels. The interface and performance enhancements, like super-high frame rate, make the Hansoft experience even more similar to playing a videogame rather than using a business application. Even if 1000’s of developers across several continents collabore towards the same goal, it’s still that fast on every single screen. Hansoft 7 also contains social features like chat and newsfeed, and we have already observed how teams use it to share ideas, instantly solve problems, and stay in the loop on what’s going on. This seriously social way of working is not only boosting team collaboration and productivity, it's also more fun and motivating,” said Hans Andersson, Development Director at Hansoft.

Hansoft has a feature set spanning over Agile ALM (Application Lifecycle Management) and PPM (Program and Portfolio Management), and now also Social Collaboration. The tool is known for the ability to run methods like Scrum, Kanban, and traditional Gantt-scheduling side by side in the same project, as well as its unique features for large to super-large product development programs in industries like telecom, aerospace, space, and game development. Hansoft has enterprise capabilities like top grade security, all access SDK, LDAP integration, and proven performance and low maintenance in private clouds as well as in dedicated environments. The licensing model subscription is per user per month with one moth contract and no lock-in period.

Setup and configuration is made within the tool by the end user with no programming needed. Typically implementation is done in one day and productivity gains are noticed within a week without any training from consultants. The extensive manual, videos and award winning Hansoft support are usually enough for a successful start.
